Bob Clouser's fly the "Clouser Minnow" is one the most successful fly fishing flies of all time! Bob fished for smallmouth bass with us a few years ago and brought out the "Crabby" colored version which then became one of our favorite smallmouth bass colors ever. The Clouser Minnow is one of the most versatile flies ever; fish it in freshwater for bass, trout, and panfish as well as fly fishing saltwater for redfish, bonefish and more.
